Students participate in a peaceful “die-in” in protest against the death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, at the Alma Mater on Monday.
CAMPUS STAGES ‘DIE-IN’
Students peacefully protest African-American deaths BY CHARLOTTE COLLINS STAFF WRITER
Michael Brown’s corpse laid on the street in Ferguson, Missouri, for over four hours. University students staged a “die-in” Monday afternoon for the same length of time in honor of his death. While lying next to the Alma Mater, students demonstrated against police brutality and the targeting of African-Americans nationwide. Hundreds of students participated in the protest throughout the day, during which they remained on the ground surrounding the Alma Mater chanting, “I can’t breathe,” the dying words of unarmed Eric Garner after his suffocation by an officer in Staten Island, New York.
The phrase has since become symbolic of a movement against police brutality, particularly against black males, in wake of recent court decisions that did not indict the officers involved in Garner or Brown’s cases. Protestors held signs referring to the recent deaths of Brown and Garner, as well as 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot by an officer in Cleveland after being found with a pellet gun that resembled a real gun. The demonstration was organized by the Central Black Student Union, Champaign-Urbana Citizens for Peace and Justice, the Graduate Employee’s Organization and the local NAACP chapter, among other organizations.

University helps campus startups establish roots BY ANDREW NOWAK STAFF WRITER
The University has a track record for fostering innovation on campus by providing resources to startups. In the past five years, the University has licensed more than 35 startups, including three for the 2015 fiscal year. Over 55 active startups across the country can trace their roots to the University, according to the Office of Technology Management’s Fiscal 2014 Annual Report. Voxel8, Veriflow Systems and Rithmio are three startups that have been licensed in the past few months.
Brighten Godfrey, cofounder of Veriflow Systems and assistant professor of computer science, said his company is commercializing a new approach to enable highly secure networks. “The University has been doing a lot to encourage startups, and it’s been very helpful to us both from encouragement from the department and from EnterpriseWorks,” said Godfrey. The Office of Technology Management is where a startup begins its multi-stage creation process, including licensing the intellectual property of the University.

Student Union and senior in AHS, said as an AfricanAmerican, he doesn’t feel safe in his skin. “I feel neither served nor protected,” Oladeinde said. “Something as simple as crime alert emails, once I read the descriptions, that’s me, that’s my best friend, that’s my brother. It’s not all police officers, but with the way things are going, it’s hard to have an easy feeling around law enforcement.” Immanuel Campbell, sophomore in ACES, said he believes all races experience strife, but the issue at hand is specific to black people. He said shifting the focus may diminish the strength of the movement or miss the point entirely. “Multiple people have come to me saying that all lives matter,” Campbell said. “I do believe all lives matter, but in these situations, this is what needs to be addressed. I feel the struggle within all

Several police officers were stationed at the corners. Betsy Breyer, a Ph.D. student in NRES, believes the issue has been driven to its

Academic Senate debates statutes, state pensions, awards honorary degrees BY ABIGALE SVOBODA STAFF WRITER ANDREW NOVAK THE DAILY ILLINI
Members of the Veriflow Systems aim to commercialize a new approach to enable highly secure networks. EnterpriseWorks is a startup incubator, helping other startups after receiving licensing, along with providing mentoring from external resources brought in by the University. Lesley Millar-Nicholson, director of the Office of Technology Management, said the general process for protecting intellectual property and working with startups has not changed much over the years,
but what has changed is the number of resources available to support the process. “We did not used to have the plethora of resources that we have now and I think what we found is that it takes more than money to start a company,” Millar-Nicholson said. Godfrey said his startup found many of these resources helpful, such as I-CORPS,

The Academic Senate met Monday afternoon to discuss updating University statutes and award honorary degrees. The last meeting of the semester began with remarks from Senate Chair Roy Campbell, who was particularly excited for a report on current benefits issues, including ongoing pension issues with state legislature, given by John Kindt, chair of faculty and academic staff benefits, “I think you’re going to hear in the future quite a bit about money and budgets, and so on,” Campbell said.
“How this all turns out, I don’t know.” Following Campbell’s remarks, Chancellor Phyllis Wise spoke, before moving on to questions and discussions. “It’s been a challenging semester in many ways,” Wise said, particularly noting issues of academic freedom that have arisen over the past few months due to the rejected appointment of Steven Salaita. She said University Provost Ilesanmi Adesida and her have been meeting with members of the faculty to “listen and learn” in an effort to fi nd
